Sending Today's Date for keyboard entry

[pilotic]

I am trying to determine how to generate a script that will run daily - and type in today's date in the format of mmddyyyy in a data entry field. I am can setup all other data entry fields - but don't know how to generate the value for today - and then have the script type the value of that field. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

$Day = @Month&@Day&@Year

[pilotic]

$Day = @Month&@Day&@Year

When I try this

[$Day = @Month&@Day&@Year

MsgBox(0,"Today","Today's date is " & $Day)]

I get an error saying undefined macro.

I am using version 3.2.0.1

Thoughts as to what is wrong?

$Day = @MON &"/"& @WDAY &"/"& @Year
MsgBox(0,"Today","Today's date is " & $Day)

oh and instead of using [ ] use [ autoit ] [ /autoit] (no spaces)

it formats the script like that in the forums
